I'm looking at a used one locally. It's described as honeyburst but it looks more like tobacco burst to me. It's a satin finish and judging from the (actual) wear om the edge of the body it really looks like a very thin nitro/lacquer finish. The only lead I have is this website which says it's...

Hey guys - First time poster, long time lurker. I’ve spent years playing cheaper Mexican guitars and I’m looking to upgrade from my Baja. I’ve never quite loved my Baja, maybe it was a bad one. I bought it second hand and it never seemed to be well intonated, even after several pro set ups...

So the biggest Canadian music store chain (long & McQuade) had a playoff format contest through social media last few weeks to determine which is the top fender model on the market (for under $1,300 Cdn). I think the vote went the way most would assume for this site with the Performer mode...

Finally had a chance to pick up my new Performer Series Tele at the store, today! Played it for a bit, right after I got home and then I had to take some pics to share here. First impression: gotta say I love it! Feels great, the twang, the warmer tones, it's all there and that color (it's hard...
